In politics, you don't vote for a candidate that you "like". Politicians are, by design, not likeable: propagandists & partisans not judges, never acting against their self interest, hence never trustworthy.
You vote for the candidate who will cause the smallest amount of harm.
Carrying the Olympic flame yesterday in the Paris 2024 Torch Relay was an honor beyond words. ๐ The spirit of the Games lives in each of us, and I am humbled to be part of this incredible journey. Let's continue to inspire, dream, and achieve together! ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฅ #Paris2024
Pre-seeding and Pre-decided knockout venues for certain participants have been normal in ICC tournaments for over 30 years! This is done to maximize commercial value regarding media rights and gate revenues(dah!). Here are the examples.
๐๐
1) In the 1992 WC, AUS was guaranteed a pre-decided venue for the home semifinal if they had made it. NZ was allocated the pre-decided home semifinal unless it was against AUS. This leads to the theory (as mentioned in Imran Khan's autobiography) that NZ underperformed in the last league match against PAK to get home the semifinal.
2) In the 1996 WC, PAK was guaranteed home QF unless it was against IND (as the Final was allocated to PAK); that's how they played against IND in QF in Banglore.
3) In the 2011 WC, ALL three hosts, IND, SRI, and BAN, were guaranteed home knockout matches on pre-decided venues (https://t.co/nqCRnnJGcz)
4) In the 2014, 2016, 2021, and 2022 T20 World Cups, In the first round, pre-seeding was given to the team in the FIRST ROUND with the same rules as in the 2024 WC. That's how qualified teams from the First round moved to Super 10s and Super 12s based on their seeding, or a replacement team allocated the respective seeding position.
I am shocked that ICC, Cricket historians, or any prominent media personnel have not clarified pre-seeding and India's Semifinal allocation to Ganyana.
Hopefully, this post will REST all the debate!

The transgender activists got merriam-webster the change the definition of the word "female" to include "gender identity" (pic 1) when that was nowhere to found as recently as 2019 (pic 2)
Imagine you're a dumbass who makes $50,000/yr and buys a $40,000 Kia Sorento.
You can't afford it and begin to fall behind on payments and the repo man is chasing you around.
During this time, some old white guy who bought 400 Kia Sorentos decides to bribe some politicians to offer 30 year fixed rate 0% loans on Kia Sorentos.
"Everyone deserves a Kia! Not letting black people buy Kias is racist! Women deserve Kias too!"
Overnight there are lines around the block to buy, own and flip Kia Sorentos. The price jumps to $200,000 per Kia and the moron who makes $50,000/yr makes a $160,000 profit.
The guy then quits his job, tells everyone how smart and successful he is, starts a youtube channel and offer courses how how/why to own Kia Sorentos for profit.
That's housing for 40 years.
My personal congratulations to @presidentaligy of Guyana for putting that condescending, racist, insufferable @BBCWorld know-it-all in his place ๐๐พ
Nortje bowls wider than the wide line. Jurel laps the ball on to the stumps.
Manjrekar: Doing the right thing, attacking the stumps.
Don't even have words for this level of incompetence.

This morning I woke up with a hangover and a black eye. The first thing I saw were two aspirins next to a glass of water on the nightstand and a note from my wife saying,
โI made you breakfast and coffee.
I left early to get groceries to make your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!โ
I stumbled into the kitchen and sure enough, breakfast and a hot pot of coffee was waiting for me.
My daughter was already at the table, eating. I asked her, โWhat happened last night?"
"Well, you came home after three in the morning, drunk and fell over the coffee table and broke it, and that's how you got the black eye.
Confused, I asked, "So, why is your mother in such a good mood, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"
She said, "Oh that! Well, when Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and tried to take your clothes off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone, I'm married! I'm married!โ
